Not at all bro, I enjoy reps as much as anyone. You just are a little hyper sensitive, that's all. I've had about 3 out of 12 reps take a shit. I'd actually be embarassed to take it to a guy to fix. 250 bucks?? Get a new one. No one is in the rep game for long term ownership. Just a short time fix. It's why so many people get addicted.


You seem very angry and disgruntled. There is no reason why a good quality rep should not last for at least a few years if not longer. What kind of watch are you glueing the hands onto?

Actually you can know only why you are in the rep game. You can't reasonably assume to know why anyone else is.

One is gen and one is a v6....you decide.


Gen on the left but there are only a couple of things that give the game away for me. I mean holy crap look how close they are considering cost like 20 times as much as the other??

Look at the cp, the font color on the bezel, the size of the crown (I think). But yeah it's extraordinary how close they are and only nerds can see the difference.......until the crown logo falls of your clasp ect

Gen is on the left. Now take this picture and shrink it to the size of a silver dollar and have someone hold it 5 feet away while moving it. Unless you know the tells like capped CP, insert color etc...it's a hard tell even in the hand. The gen is nice but it's not $8k+ nicer.

Play games? You are the one that called it a budget rep. Give me the tells. Then I will tell you where it is from.

Listen Buddy. I left the schoolyard 50 years ago. I am not about to play guessing games with you.

Yes I called it a budget rep. Your call

Well... yes strictly speaking there is obviously a lot more than I said but those are the 2 that jump out to a semi-Sub nerd lol. Truly an impressive rep. Think the crown difference might just be the light.

Of course in the hand the difference will be clear but visually they are very very close - only you can decide whether that's worth $8000+ to you instead of $350.

Well if I bought a gen at the same price I would take it back to the dealer and have it fixed for free.

Fixed for free?!!!! Lol

Mate you get a problem with your 10K Rolex after 1 year of purchase - you're looking at a potentially £500GBP service and 12 week wait.

Even if it is in the first year you will still have the 12 week wait. Been there several times.
